Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The adidas Originals Gazelle Bold Suede Trainers come ready to wear.
- Lace Up: Thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them securely to achieve your desired fit and comfort.
- Break-In: Like most new footwear, a short break-in period might be beneficial to allow the suede and sole to conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile for various casual and smart-casual wardrobes.
- Apparel: Pair them with jeans, chinos, skirts, dresses, or even athleisure wear for a stylish, relaxed look.
- Occasions: Suitable for daily wear, social events, urban commuting, and casual weekend activities.
- Accessories: Complement them with casual accessories that match their retro-modern aesthetic.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium suede and overall longevity of your Gazelle Bold trainers.
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning:
- For dust and light dirt: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris in a single direction.
- For stains: Use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser. Dab, don't rub, and follow product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
- For rubber sole: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
